Valorant Jett Knife Buddy

#Valorant Jett Knife Buddy Edit (16/08/21): Added JKB full and half files. These are keychain sized and thickened for better printing with resin printers. --- This is a prop of the "buddy" for Jett's knives inspired by Riot's Valorant. Note: The model is not to scale and should be scaled to your needs prior to printing. I modelled this for a friend as part of a commission to print and paint Jett's knife buddy as a keychain. This is modelled from scratch with references to the in-game model and concept art. This is a fan-made model and not a 100% game-accurate model. To solve the issue of having a 'floating' sphere in the middle of the ring, rather than put an unsightly rod in the middle, I decided to model the ring to fit a thin transparent plastic sheet. Two hemispheres are then glued to the sheet to create the levitation effect. If you do not want this floating sphere effect, print the "NoGap" version - either full or split (for less supports). If you want this floating sphere effect, you have two options: Pause at layer height - Print the "Full_Gap-Pause" model and pause at the layer just before the gap for the plastic sheet is closed. Add the plastic sheet and resume the print. *Important note: Make sure to block supports at the gap area or this will not work.* Split and glue - Print either split version of the model twice and glue together. This is the easier way in my opinion, especially since supports are minimal. --- #*DISCLAIMER: This model is under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence.
